Korn Canyon Drinker

​
                                                      Korn Ridge Water Development 
                                                              Korn Canyon, Canelo Hills
                                                                Cochise County, Arizona
                                                                       2004 to Present

 
 What:  Volunteers from the Huachuca Gould’s Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation installed a drinker box, storage tank, and connecting HDPE pipe to an existing water line, and built an exclosure fence around the new development in the Korn Canyon drainage of the Canelo Hills.

​When:  Beginning 2004 and Continuing

Where:  Korn Canyon approximately 4.5 miles north of Parker Canyon Lake

General Information:  Lyle, Brushy, and Korn Canyons are used extensively by Gould’s Turkeys.  Reliable water in these canyons is limited to scattered livestock tanks and troughs, seasonally wet portions of bottoms, and isolated springs.
To increase available water for all wildlife in the Korn Canyon drainage, volunteers from the Huachuca Gould’s Chapter on July 10th, 2004 installed a 1,200-gallon storage tank, metal drinker, and about ¼-mile of mostly above ground HDPE pipe to connect with an existing water line.  Additionally, a 4-strand wire, 450 foot long fence was erected around the drinker and storage tank to restrict use to wildlife.    
Volunteers from the Chapter check the catchment periodically throughout the year, especially during the annual spring Turkey Survey.

Acknowledgements:  The Lindsey Family (livestock operators in Korn Canyon), The Arizona Game and Fish Department and Coronado National Forest cooperated with the Chapter on the project.  The Lindsey Family maintains the water system that feeds the Korn wildlife water.  The Lindseys loaned the Chapter their jackhammer for installing the fence as well.Image

Descriptions: 
The following images show volunteers from the Huachuca Gould’s Chapter installing the drinker, storage tank, pipe, and fence on July 10th, 2004 as well as on a maintenance check on March 3rd, 2006.
